William Eggleston's Guide is a photo book by William Eggleston, a pioneer of American new color photography. It is no exaggeration to say that this book, first published in 1976, was the first photo book that made color photography recognized as art. Influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, Eggleston began to seriously pursue a career as a photographer, and in the 1960s, at the height of the monochrome era, he quickly began working on color photography. Eggleston, who was born in the southern state of Mississippi in the United States, painted pictures of the most common scenery in his hometown, and edited the disappearing original landscape and history of the United States as if it were a personal story. It was photographed. The 1975 exhibition, curated by MoMA's famous photography director John Szarkowski, created a huge response, and since then Eggleston's name has become known throughout the United States, and the artistic recognition of color photography has expanded. did. A historical photo book full of outstanding taste and deep flavor. 2021 Reprint version.
